Do you recommend force indexing for e-commerce websites?

Hello,

I have the 30% of my pages that are discovered but not indexed. Do you recommend indexing them using Google API?

Thanks,

Depends on the reason that they are not indexed. These pages might be duplicates or pages that are "account", "cart", "privacy", etc which shouldn't need indexing. It's normal to have pages discovered and not indexed. You can also "validate fix" to have Google recrawl those pages. Which you can do usually like once a month or 2.

Submitting too many pages for indexing at once, or submitting low-quality or duplicate content, can result in search engines penalizing your website. Force indexing may not be necessary for e-commerce websites, as search engines typically crawl and index these types of websites frequently. Instead of relying on force indexing, it's recommended to focus on creating high-quality, unique content that provides value to your audience. This can help improve your website's visibility and rankings in search results over time.

Ok thank you guys!

If it's thin content, chances are it won't index all of them
Add a blog section related to your niche if possible

Ok thank you
